As we watch the disintegration of the rule of law in the US the Canadian resistance must move from the defensive to carving out our place in a changed world.
This is why the @meidascanada.ca town halls are taking place across the country.

Senator Chris Larson @senchrislarson.bsky.social · 2d

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Blue states are conservative compared to us. We have healthcare, maternity leave, social policy… Things Americans can’t wrap their brains around 🤷‍♀️
So they’d be a risk.

I’m just a far away Canadian but I’ve seen this person showcased on some talk shows and was confused. His character flaws on full display yet people lauding him. On political views no less 🙄. If this impressive woman has put him in his place I say brava 👏

A 15 year old autistic child named Emmanuel Garcia went missing Oct 4th. Houston PD found him & gave him to ICE despite his Mom having filed a missing person’s report.

He’s now in an immigration facility for unaccompanied minors.

His Mom is pleading for his return:

Good afternoon. Here's some news:

Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has received the "Gender Equality Champion Award" at the "Women Moving Millions" summit. The summit was held in Brooklyn, New York.

I believe the pictures are from yesterday or today.

High levels of chemicals are produced by the body early in infection to mobilise the infection fighting cells.

Those chemicals also irritate the heart making it jumpy.

And by jumpy, I do mean dead.

[death] Guppy passed away last night at around 11PM. They spent the day with family at their side, and the last thing we did before they drifted off to sleep was settle in for a big group hug and tell each other how much we love each other.

They were so, so loved.
